Offline hobbies are getting more love again. Carpentry, sewing and knitting, bird watching. Modding old consoles is one of my all-time faves.

Linux GAMING

So true.

Switching to Linux and Android makes me feel excited for new technology again. I did not felt that in a long time. All the software is just how it should be. No kings, no masters to appease–just the will to make something helpful. Also the homebrew community is real fun, hacked my DSi and Wii and I love how they reverse engineered a lot of servers that were shut down. Its small but fun–just the fact that we are all on a server that should not exists from all over the world brings me joy.

When I mentioned this to my dad, he complained that his social security might be reduced in the next few years

Oh, that thing we probably aren't even going to get? Sounds rough.

I saw a debate where someone said "All of my friends are in their 30s. None of them have kids. None. Do you know how hard you have to abuse a mammal to make it stop having kids?"

And now I think we have an answer to that question.

I don't expect it, but I'm also not going to be complicit in them getting worse. Lethargy and cynicism means you've already lost, which is what the assholes at the top want.

i mean... i hope good things will happen, but yeah i don't expect them to. especially when we look at the climate crisis, we're probably one of the last generations that'll remember the world when it was relatively normal

i just hope i die before the whole planet is forced to ration drinking water

Is it green enough to offset the amount of people & pollution from billionaires that we have now vs 20 years ago?

it's the hopelessness that gets to most of us, it certainly does to me. as you said not fast enough, all the good efforts exist sure but none of them seem to be able to outweigh the negative actions.

and even when good actions start happening i get the thought of "so we could've done that the entire time... but we just didn't" (i hope the NYC Mayor somehow becomes the president of the world, please)

You were right recently, but here in the US, massively increased energy demands by data centers (which in 2026 are using more power globally than all of Canada) are often being driven by sources that would be outright illegal even where they are in the US. Technically allowed by being "temporary" onsite generation.

I've really been feeling dismal about this one the last few days.

His mistake is going to Taco Bell for quality

A big suit is part of his style though.

Is it not proper? There are many different styles of suits, maybe he just likes the classic american bulky fit

I'd argue the AI bubble is still getting worse, just more slowly

Pretty sure this is that dude known as ReviewBro, who reviews fast food and stuff. Or used to, idk.

He was in a rather popular meme that goes "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined." Lol
